Ye Xingchen, a modern online writer, stayed up late to finish the manuscript before the deadline. Suddenly, a dialog box popped up on his computer saying "Do you want to experience the real ninja world?" After clicking on it, his eyes went dark.
When he woke up, he found himself in the forest outside Konoha Village. His body turned into a 12-year-old boy, and the sound of the "Ninja Growth System" being activated sounded in his mind.
Discovered by the patrolling Uchiha Shisui, he mistakenly thought he was a war orphan and brought him back to Konoha. The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen personally visited him and arranged for him to stay in an orphanage.
Ye Xingchen was shocked to see the living character of Hokage with his own eyes, and at the same time discovered the system's first mission: to settle in Konoha and establish an identity.
